One possible fanfiction idea could be exploring how Bay's pregnancy affects her relationships. For example, it might strain her relationship with Daphne as they have different outlooks on life and this new situation. Maybe Daphne is worried about how Bay will manage with a baby, considering Bay's impulsive nature.
Well, a simple story could be that Bay decides to keep the baby against all odds. She finds support in an unlikely friend, perhaps someone from her art class. This friend helps her through the difficult times of pregnancy, like going to doctor's appointments and dealing with morning sickness.
One idea could be to explore how Bay copes with the pregnancy while dealing with the shock of being switched at birth. Maybe she forms a unique bond with her biological family during this time.
I haven't read this specific fanfiction in detail. But generally, in fanfiction about 'Switched at Birth', stories involving Bay and Emmett can be really interesting. They might explore different relationship dynamics, like how they deal with new situations if there was a baby involved. It could add a whole new layer of complexity to their relationship.
Set the scene well. Describe the places where the story takes place. If it's in a hospital when she finds out about the switch, describe the sterile environment, the sounds, and the people around. And when it comes to her pregnancy, describe how she's changing physically and how that affects her daily life.
Love and sacrifice might be themes too. They would have to sacrifice some of their own personal desires and freedoms to take care of the baby. And their love for each other and the baby would be tested. Also, growth is a likely theme. Having a baby would force them to grow up quickly and become more mature in various aspects of their lives.
One popular theme could be the challenges the character faces during pregnancy. For example, dealing with unexpected health issues. Another might be how the pregnancy affects their relationships, like with their family or significant other. And also, the theme of self - discovery during this life - changing time.
Bay's family might have a mixed reaction. Daphne could be initially jealous as Bay is getting so much attention due to the pregnancy. Regina would probably be very supportive, offering her own experiences as a mother. Kathryn might be more concerned about the practical aspects like Bay's future and education. As for Ty's family, if they are in the military - minded family, they might be disappointed at first as it could disrupt Ty's military career, but eventually come around to support them.
A possible plot could be that Bay is pregnant and Ty is initially not sure if he is the father. This creates a lot of tension and drama. Bay is determined to raise the baby regardless, but Ty decides to be there for her even with the uncertainty. As the story progresses, they find out that Ty is indeed the father through some sort of medical revelation. This journey of doubt and discovery could be filled with emotional moments and character growth for both Bay and Ty.
One plot idea could be that Bay and Emmett reunite after years apart. Maybe Emmett has become a famous filmmaker and Bay is still an artist. They meet at an art exhibition where Emmett is showing a film inspired by their past relationship. Another idea is that they both end up in a small town for different reasons and start to re - discover their feelings for each other while helping the local community with an art project.
Their relationship could be developed further by having them communicate more openly about their feelings. In the past, they may have held back, but now they can be more honest. For example, Bay could tell Emmett how much his absence affected her when they were apart.
